Product Information
Full details
The HiKOKI C3612DRAW4Z is a high-performance cordless sliding compound mitre saw designed for professional carpenters and serious woodworkers who prioritize precision and portability. Its standout benefit is the dual bevel capability paired with Torque Boost motor technology, which intelligently balances cutting speed and power efficiency. While it offers industrial-grade accuracy and an impressive cutting capacity, users should note that this is a bare unit, meaning it requires separate HiKOKI MultiVolt batteries and a charger to operate.

FAQs
Does this saw come with batteries?
No, the C3612DRAW4Z is a bare unit and does not include batteries or a charger.
What is the maximum cutting width?
The saw can cut up to 312mm in width at a 0-degree angle.
Can I use any 305mm blade?
Yes, standard 305mm (12-inch) saw blades compatible with the arbor size are generally acceptable, though using official HiKOKI blades is recommended for best performance.
How does the shadow line compare to a laser?
The shadow line is generally more accurate and durable, as it marks the true width of the blade cut regardless of the angle, and it is not affected by dust buildup on a lens in the same way a laser is.
Is this tool suitable for heavy framing?
Yes, its 105 x 312mm capacity and high-torque motor make it well-suited for heavy-duty framing tasks.
What is the benefit of the dual bevel?
Dual beveling allows you to tilt the blade 45 degrees left or right, enabling you to cut compound mitres without having to flip your workpiece over, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
Troubleshooting
The saw feels sluggish during thick cuts
Check the battery level; the Torque Boost system requires sufficient voltage to ramp up power. Also, ensure the blade is not dull or gummed with resin.
Shadow line is not visible
Ensure the light source is clear of dust. Use a dry cloth to wipe the lens housing located above the blade.
Cuts are not perfectly square
Check that the table is locked in the zero position. If off, adjust the miter and bevel positive stop screws using the included hex wrench.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Power Compatibility: This unit is exclusively compatible with HiKOKI MultiVolt battery systems. Ensure your battery is fully charged before starting, especially when tackling heavy stock.
- Calibration: Upon initial setup, verify the squareness of the blade to the fence and the table using a precision square to ensure your 0 and 45-degree stops are perfectly aligned.
- Dust Management: Always attach the provided dust bag during use, or connect the dust port to an industrial vacuum to maintain clear sightlines and extend the life of the internal motor components.
- Blade Maintenance: The included 305mm TCT blade should be inspected regularly for dull teeth or resin buildup. Use a soft brush and non-corrosive cleaner to remove sap after cutting pine or resinous woods.
- Storage: Store the unit in a dry, covered area to prevent surface rust on the cast table or internal guide rails.
